On April 24, 2024, Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.

Clearing firm guaranty fund contributions and performance bond assets deposited by clearing members can be used as collateral under the Amended Credit Facility.

The foregoing description of the Amended Credit Facility is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the complete text of the Amended Credit Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
